(hennemusic) Billy Idol is streaming the original video for his classic hit, "Hot In The City", ahead of the song's appearance on the expanded reissue of his self-titled 1982 album on July 28.

The lead single from the rocker's full studio debut was a Top 30 hit in the US, while its follow-up, "White Wedding", went on to become a classic in its own right as Idol launched his solo career following his time in Generation X.

The 2023 edition of "Billy Idol" will be available as a 2CD package that includes the original 11-track album, plus the recently unearthed, previously-unreleased 12 minute Clubland Remix of "White Wedding", and an entire previously-unreleased concert from August 12, 1982 at The Roxy in West Hollywood, CA.

Idol will launch a North American tour in Vancouver, BC on August 27; the series will also include new Las Vegas residency dates at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in October.
